"Unto the songs and chariot fighting" - Friedrich Schiller; Die Kraniche des Ibykus (The Cranes of Ibycus)... https://archive.schillerinstitute.co...il_3poems.html

:) A favorite. The Cranes of Ibycus...One of Schiller´s most famous poems.
"Then hears one from the highest footing
A voice which suddenly is crying:
"See there! See there, Timotheus,
Behold the cranes of Ibycus!"
And suddenly the sky is dark'ning,
And o'er the theater away,
One sees, within a blackish swarming,
A host of cranes pass on its way."

re: Pet - agreed; believe this is why Herr Schiller advised his correspondent not to write love poems, lol.

re: Zuc - too funny and too true :)

"A washing hangs upon the line," - Elizabeth Bishop; Songs for a Coloured Singer... https://www.thepoetryhour.com/poems/...oloured-singer

Songs for a Coloured Singer... A very interesting poem. Because of its simple, direct approach I was wondering if it was written during her stay in Brazil, but it seems to be a very early poem.

"City of palms! whose ancient name" - Nancy Rebecca Campbell Glass; Zacchæus... https://www.poetrycat.com/nancy-rebe...lass/zacchaeus

Poem about a very important New Testament episode. I liked specially the part of the sycamore which shows Zaccheus eagerness at Meeting Jesus:
"Alas! how adverse were the fates
So dense the throng, so small was he!
Considering, he ran before
And climbed into a wayside tree,
And ever since the sycamore
Is blended with his history."
